Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio April 25th 2013~

April 25th 2013 is going to be very *potent*. We have a Lunar Eclipse (the first of three) and a FULL MOON in SCORPIO, the sign of transformation and rebirth. Here are the Astral Insights for this powerful Full Moon & Eclipse!

“It’s a Full Moon and (partial) Lunar eclipse in Scorpio…Scorpio, ruled by Pluto, is about stripping away artifice, what’s false, corrupted and diseased…”

“In these days before the eclipse, we can tune in deeply, and be alert to points of tension…Eclipses can sometimes be destabilizing in some way. But breaking apart could be the very thing that leads to true healing, inner treasure or solid footing.”

“…Pluto shines light in the darkness, even where we’re afraid to look. There could be catharsis as pent up emotions are released, secrets revealed or corruption exposed.”

“In this darkened space, there is an aching for awareness.There is minimal room to breathe, to be, to feel free, as old ways and reactions no longer seem to work or fit. Who you are, who you will become. The sheath of old desires, unfelt emotions, painful memories constricts the flow of life-force.”

“Similar to a snake shedding its skin, it is wise to shed the sheath or layer of energies that stifle one’s growth and healing. Now is the moment to take the plunge and go deep into the realm of healing. Submerge yourself in Love itself and allow all that is not the real you dissolve. Swim up from the depths and up to the surface and walk upon the shores reborn. A feeling of lightness, freedom to feel and courage to act makes each cells tingle within the body. Awareness casts clarity on the path. Express from this state of renewal and draw to you fresh possibilities.

“A good way to handle the Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio is with humility and wisdom. The issues, emotions and things arising around the time of the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio at 5Â° 46â€² on April 25th, 2013 may feel highly ’cause and effect’ oriented. Deep, intense, powerful rush of emotions and swelling up of a core issue that requires healing is very likely.”

“Keep in mind, Saturn in Scorpio retrograde closely aspects the Full Moon in Scorpio thus this symbolizes a â€˜karmicâ€™ tone or a vibe of â€” ‘Havenâ€™t I been down this road before or worked at this issue repeatedly?’ The answer more than likely is â€“ yes. With that in mind, it is time to recycle energy. That which no longer serves your greatest good, can leave now. Are you willing to let go of the past? Saturn symbolizes learning, lessons and mastery, and whatever you need to learn, will come up under this phase. Transiting Saturn/Mars tense aspect may bring up obstacles or set backs and yet, the potential is that for mastering oneâ€™s desires and ability to be patience around the organic process…”

“Lunar EclipsesÂ symbolize an ending of a chapter, time of letting go, surrendering and closing of doors so to speak. Â You can see this is a great time of shedding the past, at least whatever you are ready to, and really diving into it and letting go. Donâ€™t over-analyze it. Release the grip and set yourself free to heal and move on. Honor whatever it is or was and let it go on all levels of your being. Wherever area of life the Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio activates for you, consider it a time of serious letting go for deep transformation and reclaiming your power. You may find you free up some stuck creative energy in the process!”

“It is possible to encounter obstacles andÂ lessons about desires, as well as manifesting desired outcomes. If you remain too fixated or attached to things, you may be very disappointed or even stifle the progress. This Lunar Eclipse is the first of two more eclipses soon to follow. Be conscious and begin to work with the issue or themes happening and you may not feel as overwhelmed.”

“The Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio may bring up seeds that you have sown a long time ago. Whether it is this lifetime or beyond, whatever appears and activates emotional stuff is what needs to be cleared and balanced through being responsible and accepting your part in it. Denying or avoiding will only keep the issue stuck to you longer than necessary.”

“There may be layers to all of this, so do your best to be patient and honor whatever emotion and feeling that comes up from the depths of your being. Allow the emotional cleanse to take place. Remember, energy transforms. What appears to be a loss or leaving your life, there will be something new being born or emerging. The challenge is there to work through lingering unhealthy attachments to people, things and issues…”

“Intention:Â â€œI AM Trusting the Process as it Unfolds for My Highest Good and Pathâ€

“The Scorpio Full Moon with a (partial) lunar eclipse is April 25th (2013) at 3:57 pm EDT. This initiates a release of what’s tightly wound up as a seed of potential…”

“Scorpio’s gift is penetrating to what’s locked up, denied or in the shadows…You could see stirring or surprises related to Taurus-Scorpio 6 degrees in your chart. Some might confront psychic realities with Saturn so close at hand, and how the inner reality affects the outer reality. An example is being bound up in a soul sucking drama or trauma. Is something leaving you so overwrought that you’re not investing in personal creativity or pleasure? A healing catharsis is possible, that frees up more vital energies, for you to flourish.”

“With the determination of Saturn, this eclipse could be a personal turning point. The changes could be deeply internal and take time to ripple out…”

“Saturn is a major player in this eclipse, at 8 Scorpio — there is direct engagement with the eclipse, and opposition to Venus and Mars. Saturn is the reality planet, so things could look and feel serious. If things look bleak, hang in there! Sometimes Saturn’s gift takes awhile to unwrap…”

Â “Saturn in the sign of the deep psyche (soul), the healing is profound, thorough and/or extreme. Events could happen that feel like hitting a wall, or pierce the denial of what’s already happening. It may be hard to see a way through. But if you follow the instincts of your inner healer, and trust, the healing will eventually come. It may involve making radical changes and coming clean to what you’re plugged in to.”Â

“…My sense is that Saturn is going to test the structure of the psyche (Scorpio). Are you prepared to weather the storm? Are you able to resist hysteria and other destabilizing waves of emotion running through ‘out there’?”

“I see Mars Taurus, along with Venus, inviting each of us to fall through any psychicÂ false bottomsÂ to something solid. A sense of (relative) security comes from watching our triggers, and cultivating spiritual self-containment. Mars is motivation and fight! And with Saturn, we find the inner strength to overcome what keeps us from pleasure, contentment, the development of natural gifts.”

“Our ability to see the truth is sharpening, and change is happening from theÂ bottom up!Â Â We have to remember that change on a global scale will take time.Â Â We also have to remember that we are the grandmothers and grandfathers of the future.Â Â The decisions and actions we take today will create the foundations for the future.Â Â Â Making wise decisions for our lives is a must now…”

“Energetically, eclipses dissolve old energy patterns and create new ones.Â Â During and after eclipses, our consciousness can be regenerated and reconfigured into higher states of awareness.Â Â So listen to your instincts and intuitionsâ€”they are strong right now and will guide you as you build a new paradigm to live in.”

“A lunar eclipse is an extra powerful Full Moon.Â Â At the Full Moon, when the Sun stands opposite the Moon and fully illuminates it, we can use the Moon as a magic mirror to become more self-aware of our emotional patterns regarding the many issues of our lives….”

“When the eclipses take place in the signs of Scorpio and Taurus, the Cosmic Story asks us to look at our security and self-worth issues (Taurus) and release (Scorpio) old beliefs that outer things give us our value instead of our own inner worth.Â Â Â Self-esteem and self-worth are the virtues we have to work on at this lunar eclipse…”

“Where Taurus teaches us how to tame our appetites so we can discern what we really want to create in our life to feel fulfilled, Scorpio challenges us to leave behind what stops us from discerning it.Â Â Â At this time in history, most of our prefabricated needs are fake, unfulfilling and therefore addictive.Â Â Scorpio has the power to burn away and release these false needs so its healing waters can do their work…”

“Scorpio deals with the emotional battles we engage in with ourselves, over ancient sorrows and bitter losses, hard deaths and unexpected betrayals.Â Â If we can let go of these old emotional scars, understanding that they were the experiences which taught us the meaning of life, we really can start all over again.Â Â These 3 eclipses offer us a new beginning if we focus on how the energies affect us.Â Â By staying aware and awake, we can shed some skins and re-ignite our senses and instincts in a conscious, wise way.”

“The Scorpio Moon lines up with Saturn and the North Node, symbolically telling us that we are emotionally ready for this evolutionary challenge…Saturn uses fear as his weapon, and the only way to deal with this energy is to move past fear into acceptance.Â Â Our Scorpionic Saturn forces us to face those uncomfortable feelings we have about sharing ourselves with people in our lives, confronting us with the choice to hold onto resentment or open up to forgiveness…How much do you desire your new life and what are you willing to do to achieve it?”Â

“So much can be accomplished using these portal alignments with strong intention. Expect an initial lunar eclipse at this Full Moon, a solar eclipse at New Moon May 9, and another lunar eclipse at the next Full Moon on May 24.”

“If we can stay grounded and on center, this will truly push us onward and upward on our evolutionary path. If conscious awakening is important to you, then this eclipse period is like a wise, old teacher appearing at your doorstep. We are given the opportunity to be challenged by a master who will engage us as deeply as we are willing to go and provide the lessons that will stretch us and facilitate our growth and evolution.”

“Cosmic energies are heightened during eclipse because the Earth, Sun and Moon are coming into a perfect alignment. Here at the lunar eclipse, the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon blocking the Sun’s light from the receptive Moon, and we see the Earth’s shadow cross the face of the Moon. A recalibration takes place, we realign our emotional bodies, our shadow material is made visible, a sloughing off of the old can manifest.”

“Eclipses can occur near the North or the South node; this group occurs with the South node (an inferior conjunction) and that emphasizes what we have brought in from the past and where we need to release, surrender and forgive what has gone before. We are collectively breaking the container of two thousand years of consciousness dominated by the will and moving our focus to the heart where cooperation, support and connectivity are waiting to pour into us.”

“This Full Moon and eclipse occur on the Taurus/Scorpio polarity. Our issues of physical security and transformative power are brought to the fore. Venus rules Taurus, and in this stubborn, yet loving fixed, earth sign she endows Taurus with the desire to illuminate the senses and experience the pleasures of physical embodiment. The sensuous Goddess of Love says, ‘show me beauty; let me savor the sights, the flavors, the sounds, the smells, the joys of incarnation. Let me gather around me those I value and love’. Self-esteem and resources of all kinds fall under the rulership of Venus.”

“Our financial and material manifestations are under Venus’ rulership. We’ve just recently passed through tax time, so most of us have had to consider our material and monetary positions in detail. Pallas Athena is within one degree of ruling Venus. Invoke Athena to bring you wisdom, strategy, clear-sighted planning and skill to your material situation. With these two goddesses so close to the Taurus south node we are able to eliminate our limited framing of personal prosperity, break the old, restrictive container of havingness and expand into the flowing river of creativity. But that takes courage, just what Mars sitting within 1Âº of the Sun in Taurus is willing to provide if called upon.”

“The Full Moon in Scorpio sits with stern Saturn. There may be a feeling of isolation, keeping one’s feelings to oneself, or emotional discontent in the background. But in the bigger picture, the Moon is involved in a Grand Trine in receptive and emotional water signs along with Ceres, the Mother Goddess, well placed in Cancer to nurture and support us, and Neptune, the source of our compassion and link to the mystical (or addictive) aspects of life. Let your heart open wide to embrace all aspects of the feminine.”Â

“..If you are sincere in wanting to uproot and eliminate some aspect of your life that is holding your creative forces hostage, with strong intention you can realign yourself to express more of who you are. Turn up the volume, break the mold, and express more of the outrageous, courageous love that you are. Bring God joy!”

“The tension in the chart comes from asteroid Juno squaring the nodes. Juno is ruler of all committed relationships and partnerships. Her intent here is taking us forward with balancing the masculine/feminine polarity within us and between us. Tension continues as the Sun opposes Saturn on April 28 and when Mars exactly opposes Saturn on April 30. There can be a lot of physical tension in Mars/Saturn; don’t get stuck in holding tension and building up irritation. Best use is put it to work on some big project and exert physical effort.”

“Full Moon in Scorpio brings to bear the nature of death, transformation and rebirth. We will be acutely aware of our fears and vulnerabilities now. Yet, if we are able to face our shadowy material and clearly assess where we are attached to false securities that so impact our true creativity and intuitive voices, we can claim more of our power and expression in the world.”

“A wise doula (midwife) spoke in ceremony about that mysterious time during birth when the cervix begins to soften, transition takes place, and the actual movement of the new being through the birth canal begins. That softening cannot be rushed; it comes in its own time, and it precedes all movement. This eclipse period is your softening, you are transitioning into an even greater way of being, you are disengaging from what has been your secure, yet limited environment and with total faith, trust and the discomfort of surrender, you can lead the way to a more conscious way of life.”

Infinite Blessings~

I think I’m in for some tuff days- I’m a Capricorn 1st decanter and the past 2-2 1/2 years have been really hard. I should be looking forward
to this “emotional cleanse”- but hey I’ve been there and at least with my karma I’m good to go!

Thank you Sally! So apparently it has been celebrated on the Full Moon when the Sun is in Taurus, which is usually in May but this year is in April, but many will still be celebrating it in May instead. I found this explanation “This year the Taurus Sun Full Moon occurs in April. However, due to religious/cultural followings and the gregorian calendar, there are many people who will be celebrating Wesak this year on the full moon of the 25 May 2013. With a large collective consciousness focussing on this May date, this unto itself will create a potential through conscious thought-form. Thus may I suggest on the 25 May 2013 connect deeply and bring the energetics from the 26 April 2013 (Sun in Taurus full moon) into your full moon ceremoniesâ€¦ to honour the full potential of this Wesak in 2013.” So I’ve changed it and we’ll honor it next month;) Thank you!

This is just so helpful, as always. Getting reports like this, from the starry realms, and from these particular reporters, always seems to help me understand and prepare a bit for what is coming. I love this site! Thank you MM.

I have just come to your site in the last few months after seeing it on Elena Brower’s FB page. I am finding this information so useful to help plan my yoga classes and my students are really resonating with it. I, too, am gaining so much insight for myself and this month, am really feeling the need to shed some poor lifelong eating habits- a real turning point. Thank you so much!

Loved this reading. Coincidentally I took this week to step away from social media, be in the present, and work on me, my self esteem, and how I want to approach my next projects. Sometimes this also means to do some healing of the past. The last full moon was extremely intense for me, this one sounds beautiful and I am very excited to see what this week brings.

Thank you, Mystic Mamma. I often will feel blasted or overwhelmed or weird, and then look at my lunar calendar, and be like, “OH. Full moon. I see.” This website, your thoughtful compilation of various forecasts, and the bolded emphasis on particular points is so potent and valuable. I really appreciate this insight- I will be sharing this with friends! Looks like we have quite the challenge and healing ahead..Blessings.

Thanks for the clarity! I am currently going through my first Saturn return in Scorpio and now a full moon in Scorpio also, feeling it today. Have had some health issues and anxieties lately and today it was all brought back to the surface again, but I’ve learnt to trust and accept whatever is to happen. I find it hard to let other people know how I am feeling at these times, I am always super sensitive at the full moon and most of my friends aren’t into astrology, so it can be difficult to navigate through these hard time, but letting go of the fear has helped and then you come out the other side and think “wow I’m still alive”, lol thanks so much :)

I am in the beginning of my new life and loving every moment of it. It truly is meant to be. I look forward to being able to release, once and for all, all the past – I give thanks and blessings for the lessons learnt and release it and let it go.! Yaaayyy new life! Onwards and upwards. :) xox

Thank you for this message. I’m experiencing alot of what your message explains especially with my 39th birthday approaching next week. Shifting in leaps and bounds. Thanks for the insight to help me understand my journey unfolding and the new path revealing itself…

Thank you for this beautiful message. This totally resonates with my recent experiences during dreams and waking moments. Now I am much more comfortable with what’s going on in my life, with the clear sense of “entering the new phase of my life”!

Just relax, be patient, accept life as it is, and trust that I am already manifesting my Highest Intention on the Planet Earth now …yes! love love love xxx

Absolutely!…this is exactly the energy I’m feeling in the air! I’ve been waiting for this full moon all month and I’m so glad it’s finally here :-) Pure potentiality is everywhere today…it’s such a gorgeous and exciting time!!!

thanks for this – very cool compilation of messages. Since I’m a Scorpio, and in a Saturn return year, it all makes sense….my sister at Aurum Astrology has been helping me make sense of the ‘stuckness’ and difficulty getting to the real creative work waiting for me. this clarifies even more,

Thank you – my Dad passed away in the early morning hours last year on April 26th, 2013. REading your post can’t help but make me think it was just the right time for him to go. He was a scorpio too….not sure if that means something but i’d like to think it does.
